SYSTEM SEEMS TO REWARD

While waiting for an auto repair I was engaged in a conversation with a teacher who plans to retire in three years. He has accumulated 60 days' sick leave. To use up this time, he takes off every Monday.

We all know that mayhem prevails with substitute teachers. All of these children are being cheated out of one day a week and the continuity of the teaching process is subverted. And how high is the multiple of long weekenders?

School boards that acquiesce to unconscionable union demands should be deposed. The entire system must be overhauled. Teachers must be rewarded for teaching, not for not teaching.
